evaluation question 3 "what have you learned from your auidence feedback"
Firstly before i talk about what i have learnt from my audience feedback i am going to talk about how i got that feed back. Firstly i decided to post a link to my film trailer facebook. I did this because facebook has a large amount of people viewing it at anytime. This meant that i could increase the amount of people that got to see my trailer and also increase the amount of feed back i could get back.
this below is a screen shot of my video being posted on facebook
As well as doing this i also decided to release a questionaire that i then gave out 15 people that viewed my trailer and saw my ancillary tasks to fill out and give back to me. This helped me to get feed back on not just my trailer but also on my ancillary tasks.
The questionaire is below

Im going to do a brief overview of the good points about each of my tasks.
good film trailer feed back
"i liked the way the the drugs were shown within the trailer, i think this worked well throughout the trailer"
"i could'nt see anything that i thought could be improved within the trailer"
"i think i would be influeneced from this trailer to go and see the film"
"i really liked the way the story was shown within the trailer. i liked the way the drugs and memories flashed up within the trailer as well"
bad film trailer feed back
"i thought that the portrayal of the story could have been done more effectively if there were more characters shown within the trailer"
"i did'nt want to go and see the film because of this trailer"
"i did'nt think all of the story was shown effectivly throughout the trailer, although there were some parts that i liked"
"i did'nt really understand the story"
good magazine feed back
"i think the magazine is really realsitic and looks like an actually music magazine"
"i think that if i saw this magazine cover i would be invluencenced to read the magazine in the shop, and then i would probbally end up going to see it"
"i really liked the way that there was other films advertised as well"
"i thought that the image used was quite interesting as it was conventional for a magazine cover, this said i thought it worked well"
bad magazine feed back
"i did'nt think the image on the front was good enough to make me want to read the magazine or go to see the film"
"i thought the text was'nt clear enough to be a proper magazine cover"
good poster feed back
"i really like the way the poster is done in a modern way"
"it looks like a piece of art as well as being a film poster"
"i think the concept works really well"
"i think the dark colours and the way they have been made to be less subtle really makes the poster have more impact"
"i really like the picture used and the quote used"
"i the best part of the poster is the quote, because it is really smart and relateable"
" i think the poster could have worked better if their were names of the people that are in it on it as well. like the names of the actors"
" i think the poster would have been better if it have had a different picture containing more action"
The mean scores
The mean scores from my question "what would you rate this piece out of 10" was
7.4 for the poster
6.8 for the magazine
8.8 for the trailer
what i have learnt from my auidence feed back
From my auidence feed back i have learnt that some people did'nt connect with main product and ancilary tasks because their was'nt a people actually been shown within the trailer. Athough this said most people did connect with image i was trying to create. Although this said, a lot of people thought that this concept work really well. I also learnt that some people did'nt like my magazine cover because it did'nt fit in with other film magazines and the conventions they use within there products.

evaluation question 2 "how effective is the combination of your main products and ancillary tasks"
"How effective is the combination of your main products and ancillary tasks" to answear this question i am going to look at my main product and ancillary tasks one at a time and then talk about how they all work together. This below is my media film poster. i have written a little bit about the poster and why i chose to use cetain themes and conventions within it. Film poster evaluation

"How effective is the combination of your main products and ancillary tasks"
Through out all of my tasks i wanted to keep a constant set of themes and conventions i would use across all of my products. In doing this i have created strong links between each of my tasks. For example on all of my tasks i included the quote "when life is a blur, you better have fast reflex's" in doing this i created a link between all of my tasks that the viewer will be able to see. i chose to do this with this quote as it is quite emotive and meaningful, it also links to the genera of the film and to Life in general. This leads on to the title of the film which i also have shown on all of my tasks. This again is to link all of the tasks for the audience but also because it is very emotive title. This is quite important within the genera of drama and biographical as it sets up a foundation for what the rest of the film is about. Another way i effectively linked my main product and ancillary tasks would be in the way i decided to keep the characters in the film out off the products, or shown minimally. i did this because i wanted there to be an air of mystery as to who the characters were and there roles within the film. i also did this because i wanted the story to be shown more then anything else and the showing of characters could have drawn focus away from the story. Another way in which i helped make the combination of all of my products ore effective was by using a set of colours on each of the pieces. This rule is true for the poster and film trailer its self but not for the film magazine. The film magazine is different from this rule as i reasoned that a successful film magazine would have its own colour scheme and wouldn't change for the release of a film, although when doing i decided to use a fairly dark scheme on the actually picture used. When making my film poster i decided to use quite a dark pallet, i did this because the story of the film is quite dark as it is about a drug addict. I also did this within the trailer. I did this within the trailer by using a number of quite dark shots mixing in to light ones. When doing this i made sure that every so often there was a darker shot. This is another theme that helped to link my ancillary tasks and my main product.

finished magazine
This is my finished magazine cover, since the last version i have added more text in the colours of the magazine. this makes the magazine look more professional. i also when adding the text added a line from the trailer. i think this helps to make clear links between all of my work.
Film magazine
This is my film magazine so far, i am not sure if i will add anything else to it at this point. so far i have mainly been looking at the empire magazine covering the james bond release. i think so far it is looking quite good, although i am thinking about adding things on the front telling about other films inside.
i also have changed the name from my last draft as Empire is obviously already taken, i decided to choose Action instead as it has a clear link to film.

Draft for my film magazine
This is the first draft for my music magazine. i don't think this has gone very well as the cover looks very cheap and not attractive.
when i come to my second draft i think i will add some other films that will be looked at in the magazine and also use a better picture.
